The 47 piece Best of British Menswear collection comprises a capsule edit of formal premium pieces manufactured in Britain. With a focus on true British craftsmanship, the collection is developed alongside womenswear, by the M&S in-house design team.
Tony O’Connor, Head of Design, Menswear says;
This season our menswear Best of British collection focuses on the 1970’s and the confidence, swagger and glamour that comes from this era, taking inspiration from our heritage in a new and relevant way. We researched at our archive in Leeds looking at garments, fabrics and images to develop the collection, and interpreted styles in a new and relevant way. The range is a confident masculine and stylish wardrobe based on a sophisticated tonal palette of camels, browns and taupe, all with the signature luxury of the 1970’s.
Tailoring is still the core of the Best of British range crafted in the finest British traditional fabrics. For the first time this season we have introduced eveningwear into the offer with beautiful shawl collar and double breasted styles including black and chocolate brown velvet tuxedo jackets and suits. Outerwear sees the addition of coats with velvet top collar details and double breasted styles with shearling, adding retro luxury glamour to classic pieces’.
Renowned British model, Oliver Cheshire continues to be the face of the M&S Best of British menswear collection says of the launch;
‘It’s such a privilege to be the face of the Marks & Spencer Best of British range again for autumn winter 14. The new collection is full of classic pieces that have a contemporary feel, including velvet suits, leather accessories as well as more amazing check suits, which were a favourite of mine in the previous collections and have become iconic pieces within the range’.
The Best of British AW14 menswear collection is available to buy in selected stores and online at marksandspencer.com from October 2014.
